Best ways to take CBD
There are millions of posts like this that tell you the best way to take CBD. While there are hundreds of ways you can take CBD, there are certainly better ways than others. CBD oil is a particularly versatile product which can be used in as many ways as you can think of. It is best to know exactly what you are using the CBD before thinking about taking it.
1. Under the Tongue
So, scientifically, the number one way to consume CBD oil is to put a couple of drops under your tongue and hold it there for up to a minute. Under your tongue there are membranes that absorb the CBD molecules very quickly and efficiently; the CBD is absorbed directly into your blood stream. After that, you can swallow the oil. To be frank – it doesn’t taste great. It tastes like a plant.
Our argument is that if it doesn’t taste like a plant, it isn’t how it should be. For a couple of minutes a day, the earthy plant flavours is worth all of the benefits. This is exactly the same way that you can take CBD pastes.
2. Apply Topically
If you are looking for general health and well being benefits, putting the CBD oil under your tongue is the way to go. However, if you are using CBD oil for localized health issues or skin problems, you may want to apply the CBD topically.
From what we understand, it may be best to use a slightly stronger oil that you would usually use due to the way the skin absorbs the CBD. Place half a dropper of the oil on the effected area and slowly massage in. Do this two or three times a day. So putting under your tongue may also work.
When applying to skin, or for a skin condition it is always worth seeing which other natural ingredients work for you. Personally, I like and have used Coconut oil with my skin for years. It is both energizing, moisturizing and antibacterial so it can do wonders to a dry scalp or elbow. I have a pot of coconut oil that I mix with the CBD hemp oil and apply that topically. You can use it for your face, skin health or even hair health. For those loosing your hair due to bad skin health, Coconut oil is one to look into.
